Healthy plant based living

Simple, straightforward, and delicious! As with most of my recipes, feel free to play around with different types of veggies if you don’t have/like the ones I used (substitutions could include broccoli, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, etc.). As for rice, use whole grain instead of white! According to research (videos below): “A meta-analysis of seven cohort studies following 350,000 people for up to 20 years found that higher consumption of white rice was associated with a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes…They estimated each serving per day of white rice was associated with an 11% increase in risk of diabetes.” Surprisingly, insulin spikes were exacerbated when the white rice was consumed with animal protein. Brown rice, on the other hand, has the opposite effect: it’s estimated that “replacing even just a third of a serving per day of white rice with the same amount of brown rice might lower diabetes risk 16%.”
